What is an effective, non-drowsy allergy medication (antihistamine) I can try now that Allegra 120mg is no longer helping to control my sudden, severe hives and intense itching, which are causing my skin to darken?
Since fexofenadine (Allegra) is no longer helping, you might try cetirizine or loratadine, which are effective, daily non-drowsy antihistamines. The skin darkening you are experiencing is likely post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, a common and temporary response to skin inflammation and scratching that typically fades once the itching stops. To soothe your skin, cool compresses or a mild hydrocortisone cream can help. Consult a healthcare provider to safely adjust your treatment and ensure you find lasting relief.
